Sir Tom Jones doesn't plan on slowing down anytime soon.

The Welsh hitmaker, whose real name is Sir Thomas John Woodward, turned 80 earlier this week and revealed that his decades-long career will continue as long as he's still breathing.

"I like birthdays. People say, 'What is it like growing old?' but I say, 'What is the alternative?'" the musician said in an interview with the U.K.'s Mirror.

He acknowledged that getting older is a fact of life and that it's something he doesn't mind "as the memories are tremendous."

While some wouldn't blame the artist for stepping away from touring at age 80, Jones revealed he doesn't plan on ever retiring.

"I don't want to stop as God has been good to me and my voice is still there," he said of performing worldwide hits. "I want to do it as long as there is a breath in my body."

He also called performing live his "lifeblood" and now finds himself singing "around the house" in quarantine.
